Replying to: pat (Nov 19, 2008 8:25 pm) That makes no sense. I know what has happened, to many others whom have posted their experiences. Just read the posts yourself and try to be a fair moderator. Looks like my car will need another day of further analysis..(3 days)..before a fix will be implemented. Joseph San Diego

Anyway, I got my 335i back today with a new fuel pump It drives great and starts up quickly now. Just a few side notes..There is a HUGE difference between the 335i and the 328s they loaned me! And I noticed a marked difference between the 328 and the 330i I leased for three years...The 330i definately has a tad more umff than the 328. Anyone considering a 328 should save up a few grand for the 335i. It's well worth it. I got mine for $40k! Also, having just compared back to back, I'm assured that leatheretes are much better than leather seating. Leatherette holds you in better and more securely. (probably higher coeficient of friction) This experience also gave me a chance to compare steptronic to manual back to back... there is simply no comparison. Get the manual..for the more sporty, cleaner, and untarnished driving experience. Not to mention, YES (for those in doubt).. manual IS more fun. It's true. So, it turned out great, just as I've hoped. BMW did the right thing. They fixed my car promptly and correctly. Thanks BMW! Joseph San Diego

Replying to: fedlawman (Nov 21, 2008 7:15 pm) You know, I enjoy driving my 2002 and ti so much that I'm thinking of replacing my Mazdaspeed with another vintage Bimmer. I love the visceral driving experience- free from the isolation and intrusive safety nannies found on the newest Bimmers.

Replying to: kdshapiro (Nov 23, 2008 6:41 am) I don't just like the idea, I like the reality. I might leave the DSC engaged when I'm trundling along on the street, but when I want to really enjoy a twisting two lane or an HPDE I much, MUCH prefer no electronic intervention save ABS- set with a high threshold, of course. I think that you'll find that fedlawman agrees with me. As for the 135i, it is a lot of fun, but until Munich sees fit to offer a limited slip it will not be on my new car shopping list.

Replying to: roadburner (Nov 23, 2008 11:13 am) It depends on the setting and the individual. I can see situations where I would choose one over the other, but I would not want to be stuck with either as my only car. I will say that if I owned a 135i or 335i, I know I would become bored with it in a couple years. My E30 is the first car I've owned that I know I'll never get rid of. It just has too much goodness - performance, character, looks, exclusivity.
